HBG Design is seeking a skilled Architect to contribute to the design and delivery of the firms hospitality and entertainment projects. The position will assist in preparing architectural designs and construction documents and serve as a bridge between the firms design and construction documentation functions.
The Firm:
HBG Design is the #3 Hospitality Design Firm in the U.S., as ranked by Hotel Business magazine, and the #2 Gaming and Entertainment Design Firm in the U.S., as ranked by Business Design & Construction magazine. With offices in Memphis, TN, San Diego, CA, and Dallas, TX, HBG Design offers a stable and increasing workload of national projects and a solid industry reputation for sustaining repeat clientele who trust and value us for what we know, what we do, and how we do it. Over HBGs 44 years in the industry, our 100 professionals in architecture, interior design, design detailing and documentation, codes, and construction administration have built an impressive client portfolio that includes Hyatt Hotels, Hilton Hotels, Rock & Brews, Caesars Entertainment, Hard Rock International, Elvis Presley Enterprises, Oaklawn Racing Casino Resort, Four Winds Casinos, and WinStar World Casino and Resort.
Our firm is consistently Voted A Best Place to Work By Our Employees in surveys by the Memphis and San Diego Business Journals! HBG Design offers many industry-leading benefits and perks, including an established Sponsor Program and award-winning Emerging Professionals Studio, each designed to actively support and guide project employees through their career path at the firm.
The Successful Candidate:
If you are looking for an exciting new place to grow, HBG Design is seeking an experienced Architect with the ability to work independently to deliver high-caliber projects and help manage others in building their skills in project documentation and design solutions. This position requires a specialized understanding of building materials, construction methods and costs, and the ability to interact and appropriately apply building codes and regulations. The successful candidate will also possess high level analytical and problem-solving skills.
The Team Environment:
At HBG Design, we value professional excellence and collaboration, and work to empower our staff around their strengths and passions. Key to this is providing our employees with an environment that is conducive to brainstorming and idea sharing, and team building. Each of HBG Designs offices in Memphis, San Diego, and Dallas, are bright, open, contemporary spaces that promote engagement and mentorship, where senior leaders can openly engage best practices and impart knowledge. Project team members are empowered to ask questions, lead a discussion, and gain exposure to design thinking alongside some of the national hospitality and entertainment industrys best creative minds. Weekly Coffee Collaboration mornings offer an all-employee open platform to initiate design discussions based on active project reviews. These productive critiques help inform the general direction of design or help team members seek input on how current projects could be improved, in an encouraging environment where every voice is respected.
Our employees agree: The projects are challenging, which breeds creativity and innovation. Standards and expectations are high; at the same time, the atmosphere is supportive and encouraging. That combination motivates me to bring my best every day.
Its a challenging but rewarding job with many opportunities to gain experience individually and grow my level of responsibility in the firm.
The culture is a family of people who come together some with a lot of experience and some with less experience and contribute talents to high-quality design projects.
